Frequently Asked Questions
Should birth control be free under my insurance?
The ACA requires most insurance plans to cover FDA-approved contraceptives without cost-sharing. However, grandfathered plans and some religious employer exemptions may not comply. Check your plan; if not covered, ScriptUnlock bids help.
How much do generic birth control pills cost without insurance?
Generic oral contraceptives typically cost $15–$50/month. ScriptUnlock bids often surface prices of $10–$30 for common generics like Sprintec or Microgestin.
Is the NuvaRing available as a generic?
Generic etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal rings are now available and cost significantly less than brand NuvaRing. ScriptUnlock shows both brand and generic options.
Can ScriptUnlock help with emergency contraception costs?
Plan B and its generics (levonorgestrel) are available OTC, but some formulations require a prescription. ScriptUnlock covers prescription emergency contraceptives.
How do I find the cheapest birth control pill on ScriptUnlock?
Search your specific pill name or ask your prescriber to indicate "generic acceptable." ScriptUnlock then displays all available pharmacy bids ranked by price so you choose the best deal.
